Hedwig Village TX History

In the early 1900s, farms and sawmills populated the Memorial area. The village’s name itself is a nod to its early history. Hedwig got its name after the adjacent Hedwig Road.

The Hedwig Road got its name after Hedwig Jankowski Schroeder. Hedwig, with her husband, settled in the area in 1906. The German couple donated a part of their farm that later became Hedwig Road.

During the 1950s and 60s, development in the area started in earnest. The Katy Freeway development ushered the development of upper-middle-class subdivisions along Buffalo Bayou. Development of establishments followed along the freeway.
